ENERGY EFFICIENT DOMESTIC REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

摘要

An energy transfer system (12) for a household refrigeration appliance (110). The energy transfer system (12) includes a venting system (120) within the refrigeration appliance (110), and a set of conduits (130, 132) for enabling the transfer of outside air into, through and out of the venting system. The system (120) moves cooling air around the storage compartment (122, 124) and compressor (162). In one form of the present invention, the system may also include a thermostatically actuated valve (38) for enabling outside air into, through and out of the compartment (114) in response to a predetermined temperature.
